My Avenie

Oh my Avenie it is the first of May
I was watching you by the river today
Locks of champagne hair by your side 
Your indigo eyes look bright and wide

You always stand tall as you are true
One of the many reasons I love you
You with the scent of sweet perfume
Like a Lily of the Valley, when in bloom 

Your lines are as delicate as a flower
I have never seen you with a glower
Your pleasing presence is your allure
And you go from the sensual to demure

The sound of your voice is such a caress
Like a softly played Gemshorn no less
I still shiver at each and every touch
This is because I still love you so much

In our garden a cherub with your smile
Making our walk down the aisle worthwhile
When our child grows up and leaves the nest
We will need to trust in God to do the rest

Edward J Ebbs - April 15, 2015
